FIR against Gauahar Khan for violating COVID 19 rules as she steps out after testing positive

Gauahar Khan has landed in boiling waters after Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) filed an FIR against her in Mumbai’s Oshiwara Police station. It is reported that BMC took the step after the Bigg Boss 7 was accused of violating COVID 19 rules. According to media reports, Gauahar has been tested positive for the deadly virus and while she was expected to be in self quarantine post her diagnosis, the actress had allegedly stepped out for a shoot. Her negligence came into light after BMC officials had visited her at her Andheri (W) residence.

BMC:

Talking about the same, the BMC official told Indian Express, “When we went to her home in Andheri (W), she did not open the door. We then learnt that she instead went out for film shooting. We then approached the Oshiwara police station.” Confirming the news of the FIR filed against Gauahar, DCP S Chaitanya stated that the actress has been booked for violating COVID 19 rules. “An FIR has been registered at Oshiwara police station u/s 188, 269, 270 IPC, 51B of NDMA Act, 3 of Epidemic Diseases Act, on the complaint of a BMC official,” he added.

Later, BMC also shared a copy of FIR on social media. However, refrained from disclosing the name. BMC tweeted, “No Compromise On City’s Safety! BMC has filed an FIR against a Bollywood actor for non-compliance to COVID19 guidelines on testing positive. The rules apply to all alike and we urge citizens to follow all guidelines and help the city beat the virus.”
